    And it's all over! Juventus win the Super Cup thanks to a fine header from Cristiano Ronaldo. Is there anything that man can't do? Both sides had chances in a very good game, and Milan went close with an effort from Cutrone hitting the bar. But in the end it's Juventus who maintain their dominance of the Italian game, this Super Cup win being their eighth.
  • 92'
    Vast chasms are opening up in Milan's defense as they go for the jugular. Juventus break with speed, Cristiano Ronaldo driving at the Milan defence from the left. He cuts inside but his shot is fired straight at the keeper.
  • 90'
    FIVE minutes are added on! Can Milan find an equaliser?
  • 87'
    A good spell of pressure by ten-man Milan culminates in a low cross towards Conti. He looks certain to bring Milan level before a suberb sliding block comes in from Emre Can. What a tackle!

    SUB MILAN - Conti comes on for Cutrone as Gennaro Gattuso looks to shake things up.
  • 73'
    RED CARD MILAN - Disaster for Milan as Kessie is sent off for a dangerous challenge on Emre Can. It resembled more of a stamp than an attempt to win the ball.
  • 71'
    SUB MILAN - And it's a double switch, as Borini replaces Paqueta.
  • 71'
    SUB MILAN - Here he is! Gonzalo Higuain finally comes on, replacing Samu Castillejo.

    DISALLOWED GOAL JUVENTUS - Dybala tucks the ball home after a beautiful passing move, but he's just offside. Shame.
  • 66'
    Ronaldo almost heads in another, but this time the ball just skids off the top of his head.
  • 62'
    And it just had to be him that scored it, didn't it? Ronaldo can now add the Italian Super Cup to the list of finals he's scored in.

  • 53'
    PENALTY CLAIM JUVENTUS - Cristiano Ronaldo drives into the box and tries to find a teammate, but his pass is blocked by the hand of Zapata. The ref waves away Juventus' claims for a penalty.
  • 50'
    Cutrone is playing as a lone striker, but every time he receives the ball he immediately has about four teammates making runs around him. Milan looking dangerous here.
  • 49'
    Well, there's no denying both sides are going for this.
  • 48'

  • 45'
    HT: JUVENTUS 0-0 MILAN - Chances for both sides, but the first half ends goalwards. Juventus had more of the ball but Milan always looked a threat on the counter. Can't see this one ending goalless.

  • 43'
    CHANCE JUVENTUS - Costa finally puts a good cross in, and the ball falls to Cristiano Ronaldo, who shapes up for a bicycle kick. A repeat of his incredible goal last season? Not quite, as his shot bounces and skids just over the crossbar.
  • 41'
    But it comes to nothing.
  • 40'
    FREE-KICK JUVENTUS - Dybala stands over it...

    DISALLOWED GOAL JUVENTUS - Matuidi has the ball in the net, but is ruled offside. That one wasn't even close, he was about 3 yards off.
  • 31'
    CHANCE JUVENTUS - Again an AC Milan corner results in a goalmouth scramble, and again nothing comes of it. But Juventus immediately break down the other end of the pitch, with the ball eventually falling to Chiellini of all people. A classic defender's finish though, his shot flying high into the stands.
  • 30'
    Costa tries another cross, this time an audicious delivery with the outisde of his foot, but it falls straight into Donnarumma's grateful arms . Cue more glares from Ronaldo.
  • 28'
    Cristiano Ronaldo is fuming at another poor delivery from Juventus, this time by Douglas Costa.

    Good game this, either side could be ahead.
  • 25'

  • 17'
    CHANCE JUVENTUS - Joao Cancelo drives into the box and drives a low shot just wide of Donnarumma's right-hand post. Worrying times for Milan.
  • 14'
    Juventus seemingly in control of this one. Milan are waiting to strike on the counter attack.
  • 12'
    Alex Sandro's horrendous cross goes straight out for a goal kick. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was waiting in the penalty area, does not look too happy with him.
  • 9'
    INJURY MILAN - Bakayoko is clattered into and stays on the ground for a good minute or so. After a short wait on the sidelines he returns to the field of play.
